NORTH HOLLYWOOD - A man was in custody today on suspicion of hurling a beer bottle at an LAPD squad car, shattering a window and injuring two Los Angeles police officers responding to a robbery call in North Hollywood, authorities said.

The incident occurred at Oxnard Street and Vineland Avenue at 9:30 p.m. Monday, said Sgt. Glenn McNeil of the Los Angeles Police Department's North Hollywood Station.

The two officers were taken to Providence Saint Joseph's Medical Center in Burbank, where the one who had been driving was treated for cuts to his face and neck while his partner was treated for a cut cornea expected to heal on its own, McNeil said. Both officers were later released.

The officers were responding to a report that six men were robbing another man when one of the suspects hurled a dark bottle of beer at the squad car, McNeil said, adding that the projectile shattered a window.

"They thought they were being shot at," McNeil said. "They floored it (the squad car) to get out of the area."

The man suspected of throwing the bottle was tracked down in a perimeter search and taken into custody. He was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer and robbery, McNeil said. No other arrests were immediately reported.
